Hello,
I am the head of Accounts and Audit Department of Bank of
Africa,Ouagadougou . I decided to contact you after a careful thought that
you may be capable of handling this business transaction which i explained
below;
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $10.5m US dollars (Ten
million, five hundred thousand US dollars). In an account that belongs to
one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in 1998 in
a plane crash. Since we got information about his death, we have been
expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot
release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the
deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately we learnt
that his supposed next of kin(his son and wife) died alongside with him at
the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim .It is therefore upon
this discovery that I and other officials in my department now decided to
make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next
of kin (We want to present you as his busines asociate )to the deceased for
safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we
don't want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained
Unclaimed after eight years, the money will be transferred into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this
business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a
Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner .
We agree that 30% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for
expenses incurred during the business and 60% would be for me and my
colleagues. There after I and my colleagues will visit your country for
disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the
immediate transfer of this fund to your account as arranged,you must apply
first to the bank as next of kin of the deceased customer. Upon receipt of
your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free
and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required
arrangements have been made for the transfer.
I expect that you contact me for more details immediately you receive this
letter.
Hoping to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
Dr James dapoya
Accounts & Audit Department ,
Bank of Africa
Nb.also give me your telephone and fax numbers for easy comunication with
you.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
